The Library will provide supplies and instructions for creating a fun, colorful, swirly paper lantern (for decoration only). Your job is to take a kit home and have fun putting it all together!

Halloween Play Auditions, ages 11 to 17

The Youth Services Department of the West Windsor Branch of the Mercer County Library System will be holding open auditions (no registration necessary) for teens ages 11-17, as well as some adult roles, for our upcoming Halloween Playfest. The auditions will take place on Saturday July 25th and August 1st from 2:30-4:30 pm., and Thursday July 30th and August 6th from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Performances on October 23th to 25th will feature a new musical play for actors ~11 to adult, “Abby Marsh is Slightly Dead.” Auditions will consist of readings from the scripts, for singing roles you can choose from a selection of well-known songs. Scripts will be available for inspection at the reference desk, or can be sent by e-mail. Auditions will take place at the West Windsor Branch, 333 North Post Rd., Princeton Junction. Rehearsals will begin in early September. We welcome help with makeup, costumes, choreography, music, and set construction. Please call director Michael Kerr at (609) 275-8901 or e-mail mkerr@mcl.org with any questions.
